Completely ridiculous, but super endearing and a lot of fun. It manages to stay light but still be a mock-solid satire of the intelligence game and the American perception of the CIA in the wake of the disillusioning 1970’s. It also manages to be an engaging cat and mouse chase while presenting a very likable central character. If you dig real-world spy flicks and you don’t mind rolling your eyes at a few logic burps, this is a good time.
